MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The OOXML document contains heuristics indicating remote template injection and external relationship manipulation, pointing to a malicious intent to fetch external content. The primary URL identified, http://18.221.8.123//payload-obfuscated-final.docx, is highly suspicious and likely serves as the source for a secondary payload. This suggests a spearphishing attachment attack vector aiming to download and execute further malicious code.

Heuristics 3

  • Remote template injection high OOXML_REMOTE_TEMPLATE
    Document references a remote template URL (http://18.221.8.123//payload-obfuscated-final.docx) — a common remote-template-injection vector used by Hancitor, Emotet and many phishing campaigns. Word can fetch and apply the remote template; macros in that template may execute depending on Office policy and trust state.
  • External relationship medium OOXML_EXTERNAL_REL
    External target in word/_rels/webSettings.xml.rels: http://18.221.8.123//payload-obfuscated-final.docx
  • Embedded URL info EMBEDDED_URL
    One or more URLs were extracted from the document. The URL itself is not a detection — see the per-URL labels for which channel (macro, JS, link annotation, document body, ...) reached each URL.
